Exercising Your Way To A Healthy Relationship

Bella Breakdown

Couples therapy? Why not work out that anger with sweat? Exercise can be the best way to get your mind off of the things that are bothering you, but they can also help you build a bond with your significant other. Here are some of the best tips to making your boo your best workout buddy at the same time.

Friendly Competition

Challenge each other to be better people in all aspects of life, including in the gym. See if you can get your partner to push out that extra ounce of sweat, and never leave your partner to work out by themselves. They’ll feel disregarded if you skip out on them.

Grocery Shopping

A healthy body begins with a healthy diet. Going grocery shopping with your significant other can help you stop each other from sneaking snacks into the cart. Together, you’ll be able to pick the best ingredients and meals to keep each other in shape.

Bella Breakdown Breaking up with someone, or getting dumped is a full range of terrible emotions. It’s sad, it’s awkward, painful, and can even be really anger-filled. Breaking up today, in 2018 specifically, may leave you feeling like you can never quite get away from that person. More often than not, when you’ve gotten into a relationship with someone you have added them on some, if not all, forms of social media. That means, if you don’t go completely dark on them after the breakup, you’re probably seeing every update they have on a constant basis. That can be really hard to deal with, especially if they get into another relationship right away. So, what’s the best way to...

Bella Breakdown As this heatwave rages on, and we so no sign of it cooling off, we can’t help but think of ways we can still workout and stay cool. Sure, the gym has AC, and if you want to work out with 3 industrial fans pointed at you, you do that! But we sort of want to try synchronized swimming. It’s not just a spectacle for the Summer Olympics. With all of the access we have to instructional videos, and how-tos, we can definitely hop in the pool with a friend and start practicing our underwater moves. There are a lot of really great reasons to try synchronized swimming. 1. It’s A Buddy Sport Grab a friend, and...

Bella Breakdown Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are not the first couple to be caught up in a cheating scandal, nor will they be the last. Cheating, it seems, happens more often than anyone would like to acknowledge. In the days when reality television rules all, we often witness a lot of couples go through the aftermath of infidelity when one, or sometimes both parties, have had an indiscretion. We watch from the comfort of our couches as these couples go through therapy, and deal with attempting to stay together after someone has strayed. So, it begs the question, can you recover a relationship after someone has cheated? On a personal level I would say, no. The trust is...

Bella Breakdown Men and women alike both can’t help but fall, at some point in their lives, for someone who is completely bad for them. The “bad boy” or “bad girl” type is almost like a right of passage as we move forward in our lives. Now, the bad person isn’t always wearing a leather jacket, smoking a cigarette, and making you play hookie from your responsibilities. The bad ones could be people who are non-committal, emotionally unavailable, abusive in any form, etc. When we find ourselves in a relationship with one of the bad ones, we can’t help but justify their poor actions along with our own. You might kid yourself into thinking that you can help them...

Bella Breakdown Do you remember how nerve wracking it was to start school, especially if you didn’t know anyone? It was new classes, new kids, and a whole new situation. It meant so much when you buddied up with the person next to you. You could breathe a sigh of relief knowing that you wouldn’t be eating lunch alone that day. It’s still sort of the same deal now that we’re adults. I get the same nervous jitters starting a new job as I did starting the first day of school. I just want to make friends! Part of growing up, and being an adult is having to get out of our comfort zones. A lot of us have...

Bella Breakdown You might have heard of intermittent fasting. There are actually a couple ways in which you can practice this relatively new dieting and weight loss trend. Some individuals practice intermittent fasting by eating normally 5 to 6 days a week, and take two days to eat little to no food. Another way you can attempt intermittent fasting is limiting your eating to only 6 or 7 hours out of the day. Say you begin eating at 9 a.m., you’ll stop your eating by 3 p.m. and have nothing for the rest of the day. Intermittent fasting has shown to alter a lot of individuals metabolic processes in a way that highly benefited their overall health and ability...
